Kansas City Qualifier
June 1 |
Last week in Venice, the
search for the American Ninja Warrior began with a major
twist... Since no one completed the course last season,
the prize money has been rolled over to $1 million for
the person who gets to the top of Mt. Midoriyama the
fastest. Will we find a worthy contender in Kansas City?
KANSAS CITY
Union Station
Three of the obstacles our competitors will face today
have never been seen on American Ninja Warrior before:
- Quintuple Steps
- The Big Dipper: A downward-curved pipe slider that
ends with a rope ladder to the next obstacle

tiles.
- Modified Ring Toss: Make your way across a bridge of
peg hangs using only two rings.
- Bungee Road: Four sets of bungee cords, followed by a
log hang.
- Warped Wall: 14 feet, three tries.
Once again, it's win-and-in. Anyone who finishes the
course is guaranteed a spot in the City Final.
